Oxford Treasury of Fairy Tales

Retold by renowned children's writer, Geraldine McCaughrean, here are all the best-loved fairy tales and more. Favourites such as "Sleeping Beauty", "Rumpelstiltskin", "Snow White", "Cinderella", "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", "The Little Mermaid", and "The Princess and the Pea" are accompanied by other treasures such as the "Three Gifts of the North Wind", "Cap-of-Rushes", and "The Tinderbox". As ever, Geraldine's writing style is original and dramatic, and she weaves magic into her world of knights, witches, frogs, and princesses. Sophy Williams' delicate and atmospheric colour illustrations throughout the collection complement the text beautifully to make this a perfect gift.
